Question
Note to moderator: read the answerline carefully. Note to players: description acceptable. This type of person might have influenced the depiction of the warrior “Lord of the East,” Sopdu. A parched man receives boiled milk from a leader of a people of this type and finds refuge with them after traveling past a sacred tree near Lake Maaty and beyond Wild Bull Harbor upon hearing of the death of Sehetepibre. In one quarrel story, Seqenenre receives a complaint from the king of a people of this type about the bellowing of (*) hippos, audible hundreds of miles away. A deity sometimes vilified for his patronage of this type of person married a pair of goddesses following a judgement by Neith. The “Great Hymn to the Aten” praises the god’s differentiation of people of this type, who were represented in art by the nine bows beneath the pharaoh’s feet. For 10 points, Set was sometimes demonized as the patron of what type of people, such as the Hyksos? ■END■
ANSWER: foreigners [accept answers indicating people who are not Egyptians; accept invaders or occupiers of Egypt; accept non-Egyptian peoples like Asians or Asiatics, Bedouins, Canaanites, Phoenicians, Syrians, people from Retjenu, Nubians, or Kushites or Hyksos before mention; accept nomads or immigrants; prompt on enemies of Egypt with “from where?”; reject “Jews”, “Israelites”, “Hebrews”, “Philistines”, or “Sea Peoples”] (As “Lord of the East,” Sopdu faced the eastern borders of Egypt and his depictions are sometimes reminiscent of Bedouin warriors. The second line clues the Tale of Sinuhe.)
